Description

  The present invention relates to a shirt finishing machine for press-finishing a shirt such as a washed shirt, and more particularly to a shirt finishing machine formed so that a shirt can be removed while a shirt is put on a human body. .

Conventionally, as this type of finishing machine, for example, there is one described in Patent Document 1.
This conventional machine is formed with a human body for wearing a shirt and a pair of left and right support arms that are arranged on both sides of the human body and tilted to the side of the human body by driving means to pull the sleeve of the shirt Has been.

  In the conventional machine, the frame is provided on the upper portion of the support arm so as to be rotatable in the forward and reverse directions around an axis extending in the front-rear direction of the human body shape. In addition, this conventional machine is provided with a lower collar for setting the tip of the sleeve on the frame and an upper collar for pressing the upper surface of the lower collar to press the top of the sleeve. Bars are provided on both sides of the human body shape to regulate the rotation angle so that the tip of the lower arm faces the shoulder of the human body shape as the support arm rotates.

  By the way, the sleeves usually have slightly different inclination angles and designs. For example, as shown in FIG. 8, a shirt has a loose sleeve type A (generally in the United States, hereinafter referred to as “US type”) and a steep type B (generally in Europe). Since there are many, it is divided into “European type”.

  Thus, it is customary for laundry to be brought into a cleaning factory that contains both American and European shirts. Therefore, it is desirable that this type of finishing machine is formed so as to be able to flexibly cope with one even when the inclination angles of the sleeves are different.

  However, in the conventional machine, the height of the support arm, that is, the height of the lower arm for setting the tip of the sleeve is determined. In other words, the conventional machine has a structure that pulls the sleeve by rotating the support arm at the same height even if the sleeve angle of the shirt is different.

Therefore, for example, when a European-style shirt is processed with a conventional machine in which the inclination angle of the support arm is set in accordance with an American-style shirt, the sleeve cannot be pulled in a well-balanced manner.
As a result, in the case of the conventional machine, it caused the twitching and slackening of a part of the sleeve, so according to the conventional machine, for example, it is said that it is not possible to finish a US style or European style shirt with a single machine. There was a problem.

Japanese Patent No. 4409522

The present invention has been proposed in view of such problems of conventional products.
Therefore, the technical problem to be solved by the present invention is that, in a shirt finishing machine formed with a pair of left and right support arms, even if the sleeve sleeves have different inclination angles, one sleeve can flexibly respond to the sleeve.

In other words, the lower end of the bar 9 is attached to the end of the operating portion 10a so as to rotate in the forward and reverse directions around the axis 6b (see FIG. 5) along the front-rear direction of the human body 2.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 3 and the like, the cylinder as the driving means 3 of the support arm 4 has a shaft 6c along the front-rear direction of the human body 2 with the distal end at the support arm 4 and the proximal end at the upper part of the operating portion 10a. , 6d so as to be pivotable. Thereby, the support arm 4, the operation | movement part 10a, the bar | burr 9, and the drive means 3 move up and down together.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 3 and the like, the operating portion 10a is formed with a coil spring 14 that suppresses a sudden drop when the support arm 4 is tilted and assists the movement when the support arm 4 is raised. The coil spring 14 is fitted and inserted into a bar 15 connected in an upright manner to the lower end of the support arm 4 and is provided between the flange 16 fixed to the bar 15 and the partition plate 17 of the operating portion 10a. .

Thus, when the operation part 10a is formed with the coil spring 14, the load applied to the drive means 3 can be reduced when the support arm 4 is tilted, and the support arm 4 can be easily raised with a small force. is there.
That is, when the rod of the driving means 3 is extended and the support arm 4 is tilted, the lower end of the support arm 4 is lifted together with the rod 15 against the elastic force of the coil spring 14, and the flange 16 compresses the coil spring 14. Therefore, a sudden tilting operation of the support arm 4 is prevented by the elastic force of the coil spring 14.

  When the rod of the driving means 3 contracts, the support arm 4 is raised. Then, the lower end of the support arm 4 is lowered together with the rod 15, and the coil spring 14 is restored. The resilient force of the coil spring 14 assists the raising of the support arm 4.

  In FIG. 1, reference numeral 18 denotes a shoulder press rod provided at the upper end of the column 11. Reference numeral 19 denotes a clamp device for a short sleeve. The clamp device 19 is provided on the frame 5. The finishing machine of the present invention is formed so that steam and hot air can be supplied from the inside of the human body 2 into the sleeve 1a of the shirt 1 through the shoulder.

  In FIGS. 2 and 5, reference numeral 20 denotes a heel for pressing the rear side of the shirt 1. The press rod 20 on the rear side is disposed between the support column 11 and the human body 2 and is moved forward and backward by a cylinder 21 (see FIG. 2) provided sideways on the support column 11.

Next, the operation of the present invention according to this embodiment will be described.
First, the worker sets the shirt 1 on the human body 2 as shown in FIG. Next, the operator switches on the driving means 3 to contract the rod. Thereby, the support arm 4 is arrange | positioned beside the human body type | mold 2.

  In this state, the operator first fits and fixes the distal end portion of the left sleeve 1a toward the human body 2 to the lower collar 7 of the left support arm 4. When the operator turns on the start switch, the shoulder press rod 18 descends and presses both shoulders of the shirt 1. At the same time, the front press rod 13 is slid in front of the human body 2. Therefore, the worker fits and fixes the tip of the right sleeve 1 a toward the human body 2 into the lower collar 7 of the right support arm 4.

  Next, the front press bar 13 and the rear press bar 20 press the front and back of the shirt 1, and simultaneously the upper bar 8 moves downward and presses the tip of the sleeve 1a. Then, hot air is supplied to the sleeve 1a of the shirt 1 for a certain period of time. As a result, the sleeve 1a expands and the heel of the sleeve 1a is removed.

Thus, according to the present invention, when the sleeve 1a of the shirt 1 is an American type, the operator turns on the switch 12a for raising the support arm 4.
Then, the rod of the cylinder as the driving device 10b is extended, and the support arm 4 is lifted together with the operating portion 10a, the bar 9, and the driving means 3, and is arranged at a predetermined height H (see FIG. 6).
Accordingly, the lower collar 7 on which the tip of the sleeve 1a is set is placed high, and the angle of the sleeve 1a is corrected.

  In this case, the bar 9 has the rod 9 of the cylinder 9b slightly extended and the entire length slightly increased. As a result, the tip of the lower collar 7 is corrected so as to face the shoulder of the human body 2 as the support arm 4 rotates. In the case of an American-type shirt 1, the sleeve 1 a is lifted and pulled by the support arm 4 in this way.

  In addition, when the sleeve 1a of the shirt 1 is a European type, the worker puts a switch 12b for lowering the support arm 4. Then, when the support arm 4 is disposed high, the rod of the cylinder as the driving device 10b contracts. As a result, the support arm 4 is lowered together with the operating portion 10a, the bar 9, and the driving means 3, and is arranged at a predetermined height H (see FIG. 7).

  Thereby, the position of the lower collar 7 together with the support arm 4 is lowered, the sleeve 1a is pulled down, and the angle of the sleeve 1a is corrected. In addition, the bar 9 is contracted by the rod of the cylinder 9b so that the tip of the lower collar 7 faces the shoulder of the human body 2 as the support arm 4 rotates, and the overall length is shortened.

  Thus, the supply of hot air stops when it reaches the set time. Then, the front and rear press rods 13 are separated from the human body mold 2 and the front press rod 13 is retracted to the right side. At the same time, the shoulder press rod 18 rises and returns. Further, the upper collar 8 rotates upward, and the fixed state of the distal end portion of the sleeve 1a is released. In the product of the present invention of this embodiment, these operations are automatically controlled by a program.

  When the series of operations is completed, the operator removes the shirt 1 from the human body shape 2 and removes it. Thus, according to the present invention, even if the sleeve 1a of the shirt 1 is the US type or the European type, the sleeve 1a can be neatly finished with only one product of the present invention.

  In the above place, the present invention is not limited to the case where the height of the support arm 4 is changed in two stages. That is, the present invention may be formed so that it can be changed in multiple stages according to the inclination of the sleeve 1 a of the shirt 1.

  In the present invention, the driving device 10b constituting the lifting mechanism 10 and the driving means 3 of the support arm 4 may be constituted by, for example, a motor instead of the cylinder. The bar 9 may be formed so that the length can be adjusted by a motor or the like instead of the cylinder 9b.
